McDermott: 'We stripped the side down to basics and we are looking forward to restoring our pride.'

The crowd are certainly in good voice at Leeds today. Can the home side claim a vital win or will the visitors continue their march towards promotion?

Kevin Phillips, meanwhile, is included in the Leicester squad and will start on the bench.Phillips joined the Sky Bet Championship leaders on Wednesday. Winger Riyad Mahrez is also available for selection after signing from French club Le Havre since the Foxes 4-1 home win over Derby. He will also have to make do with a start on the bench though.

Leeds will be without suspended striker Matt Smith for Saturday's Sky Bet Championship clash between Leeds and Leicester at Elland Road (kick-off 12.15pm).Smith was shown a straight red card following an aerial challenge in last week's thrashing at Sheffield Wednesday and the club were unsuccessful in their appeal against his three-game ban.Recent signings Jimmy Kebe and Cameron Stewart make their home debuts on their respective wings, while manager Brian McDermott may make one or two other tactical changes following the 6-0 drubbing at Hillsborough.
